Country singer Wynonna Judd, Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman and NFL player Jacoby Jones will be
among the celebrities vying for the mirror-ball trophy on the 16th season of
Dancing With the Stars.

The new cast for the hit ballroom-dancing contest was introduced yesterday on
Good Morning America. The season will premiere with a two-hour show at 8 p.m. March 18 on
ABC, including WSYX-TV (Channel 6).

After being asked do the show for six years, Judd said, she finally relented.

“I’m scared to death,” she said, then asked the other cast members: “Is anybody else scared to
death?”

The contest — for which the celebrities and their professional partners perform tangos, waltzes,
sambas and other dances — is among the most-watched U.S. TV shows.

The other celebrities who will compete this season are singer-actress Zendaya Coleman (Shake It Up), Olympic ice skater Dorothy Hamill, professional boxer Victor Ortiz, former
American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler,
General Hospital actor Ingo Rademacher, Lisa Vanderpump of
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and comedians Andy Dick and D.L. Hughley.

The professional partners include veterans Mark Ballas, Cheryl Burke, Tony Dovolani, Derek
Hough, Kym Johnson and Karina Smirnoff. They will be joined by some new faces.
